I?ve only owned red block Volvo?s and I just picked up a 2000 xc70. What transmission fluid do these cars use? It?s fairly clean but I?d like to flush it

Dexron III if your car has the 4 speed. I thought a 2000 would have been equipped with a 5 speed AT.
If your 4 speed AT shifts fine now there should be no harm in flushing it. You can do it yourself with some tubing and accurately marked milk jugs. The tubing will fit snugly over a disconnected transmission cooler line. I think Ipd actually sells a kit for this process.
I usually pump out 2 quarts at a time, turn off car, dump two fresh quarts in. Repeat this until the fluid coming out of the car is red.
